Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Olive oil, for greasing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces jumbo pasta shells (20 to 24)
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed, coarsely chopped
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces baby spinach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
One 15-ounce tub whole milk ricotta
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
3 to 4 large leaves fresh basil, chiffonade, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 1/2 cups Vodka Sauce, recipe follows, or your favorite jarred sauce, warmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup vodka
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Pasta cooking water, for adjusting sauce consistency
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with the oil and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and set aside for making the Vodka Sauce. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well. Arrange the pasta in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a food processor, add the mushrooms and shallot and pulse until chopped into about 1/8-inch pieces. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the spinach to the skillet and cover to allow the spinach to wilt, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the parsley and transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, pine nuts, basil chiffonade, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Combine the cheese mixture with the mushroom mixture. Stuff each shell with about 2 tablespoons of the filling.
  • In the skillet where the mushrooms were cooked, add about 1 cup Vodka Sauce and spread it in an even layer. Arrange the stuffed shells in a circular pattern. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups sauce, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/2 cup mozzarella in between and on top of the shells (leaving the tops of the shells mostly exposed). Cover and cook over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with more Parmesan and basil leaves, and serve.
  • In a large skillet over low heat, add the butter, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes, cream, vodka, tomato paste, 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, adding more reserved pasta water as needed.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM MANICOTTI



Spinach and Mushroom Manicotti image

This is my most famous dish, Manicotti con Spinaci e Funghi, I sometimes make it without the spinach and its just as good, also I really like garlic so if you don't like a very strong garlic taste I would only use one clove instead of the 2-3 i would normally use.

Provided by Nessas Mommy

Categories     Manicotti

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces manicotti (you might only use 1 box but count on some noodles splitting while they cook)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 eggs
6 ounces mushrooms, I like to use fresh, it really makes a HUGE difference, a whole small box like you buy at the grocer
2 -3 garlic cloves, depending on size, if your not a big fan of garlic just use 1
6 ounces chopped fresh spinach, you can use frozen you will need about 10 oz thawed and dried
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1/3 cup chopped basil leaves
1 teaspoon salt
26 ounces of your own spaghetti sauce or 26 ounces about 1 1/2 jars store bought spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, again I like to use fresh, the taste is much better. Have extra for the dinner table

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Cook manicotti noodles for 7 minutes, drain and rinse with cool water; set aside.
  • Heat oil or butter in a large pan over about medium heat, sauté mushrooms and garlic till mushrooms are tender.
  • Add spinach and continue cooking about 5 minutes, careful not to overcook mushrooms and garlic. Drain and set aside.
  • Beat eggs lightly in a large bowl and ricotta cheese, basil and salt. Stir in mushroom mixture. If this ends up being a little too runny for stuffing your manicotti, you can use regular parmesan cheese like you.
  • Keep in your fridge as a kind of filler to thicken it up a bit.
  • Spread about a cup of sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish. Fill manicotti with mushroom/cheese mix place in dish and cover with sauce. Sprinkle the fresh parmesan cheese on top and cover with foil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and place bake in over for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your manicotti or shells.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente is the perfect texture for pasta.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Spinach and mushrooms are a classic combination, but you can also try other fillings like ricotta cheese, ground beef, chicken, or sausage.
  • Be generous with the sauce: Manicotti and shells are meant to be smothered in sauce, so don't be afraid to use a lot.
  • Bake the manicotti or shells until they are bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Manicotti and shells are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings and sauces. They are perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and effort, you can make manicotti or shells that will impress your family and friends.
